Perhaps if you'd explain WHY you are trying to create such nonsensical things we could help. NONE of these "English" sentences are correct, or even make sense to start with. What do you want and what are you trying to do?

"Yanking our chains" is another idiom. I think Tony-san basically means, "...What do you want and what are you trying to do? Or are you just teasing us (with all the nonsensical English and asking for translations)?"

But could you please clarify? The members here were asking nicely for you to explain your situation and reason for the translations, but you didn't answer them. Do you want translation practice? Are you trying to write some type of story and wanted to write it in Japanese but are not sure how? Is English your second language? Just tell us why you need the translations, and what you're using them for, and maybe we can help better.

And also, it does seem English is not your first language. If you type something gramatically incorrect in English, take the others' advice on it and learn it correctly. ("What is 'yanking our chains' mean?" should be "What does 'yanking our chains' mean?", for one thing.)

You mean I have to explain why I want you to translate? All over again?

I'm intrested in seeing sentences translated from American English to Japanese..I'm wondering of the translation, and I can't think of it.. That's why I need you help.. I want a direct translation. To translate, you must translate it's feelings, just it's sentence. If you don't, the translation will be poor. I want someone who can translate. Today's sentences:"It's camera angles are poor. And did I remind you of the voice acting? It gets cheezy all of the sudden.." If someone can translate it, I will be thankful.

Wakatta, minna-san? The new sentence is actually "I'm going to the bathroom. No, Really! And I'm not going to ask mommy about the rice."

well, unfortunately my japanese isn't good enough for all the acting vocabulary.. sorry.

We're not asking you were you're not finding them, we're asking where you're finding them in the first place, and why you're trying to translate them into Japanese when you don't understand them in English.
